Pours a dark, murky brown coloration with a medium, fizzy head that dissipates quickly, leaving a thin blanket on the beer. Smells of rich, bready, caramel malts, toffee and dark, dried fruit (plum, fig), with just a hint of chocolate and booziness coming through. Taste is quite complex. The malts and sweetness hit you first, revealing notes of toffee, dark bread and molasses, followed by a noticeable booziness. Then the dried fruit comes through, with quite a rich fig/plum aroma. At this point, the bitterness sets in, which starts off quite strong, then becomes more bittersweet in the aftertaste. Mouthfeel is quite rich and thick. This is one of those beers that you can really admire for their rich, complex flavor profile, but would never have more than one of in a single evening. I'm really not sure if that's a good thing.

The beer is a dark brown color with a lot of floaters in it. The head was very short lived. Smells of caramel, dark fruits, and teriyaki. The beer tastes sweet at first and then is followed by a bitterness and spice. It really tastes like Chinese food. The beer a little chewy I want to say. It feels more like a meal than a beer.

This doppelsticke altbier pours a cloudy chocolate color with a very faint red tint and a medium frothy white head. The smell is of dark brown bread, with some sweetness (brown sugar and caramel), and some alcohol. It is a very malt forward smell, reminiscent of a doppelbock, but with some differences. The flavor is quite intense and unique for beers that I have tried. There is a strong dark brown bread element, a little brown sugar sweetness, some dark fruit, some spiciness, like a rye maybe, and significant alcohol flavor. The alcohol flavor is a little stronger than I would expect at 8.5%. This is a very robust flavor. The body is quite heavy and the finish is fairly creamy. This is a tough beer to review because I’ve never tried another doppelsticke altbier, which is apparently a much more robust form of altbier. If this beer is representative they are really not at all like normal altbiers and are much closer to doppelbocks actually. This is a real punch you in the face beer, which I respect. A lot of the best doppelbocks that I’ve had have a more polished flavor and many have more alcohol also, so I can’t say that this is better than those, but it is definitely an interesting beer that is worth trying though I couldn’t drink more than one of these in a night.
